Rainbow Beach looks like it might crack 1000mm for this week - not bad for the dry season! However, this has been very localised rain so Brisbanes Dams have missed out on the big falls although the Stanley River feeding Somerset Dam has a healthy feed at the moment. Even so Brisbane's Water supply remains in a very very bad way

If I could I'd gladly send it south west Terry. We are pretty over it up here. Buy the look of it that low is heading back down the coast and moving inland. Fingers crossed it moves more towards the dams.

And if I remember correctly from my rigging days, 1 litre of water weighs
1kg.

It's been damn wet here in Coombell, I'm unable to drive off the property.
Haven't even been able to use my new shed to build stuff : (((

I just heard 750mm in 24hrs on the news for somewhere up on the sunshine
coast. That's scary!!!

regards,CS

A couple of pics after the flood had retreated a bit.
The trees in the river were once over 30 ft tall(10metres)
We had 206mm at Cambroon over two days.
